What is the soil like layer on the moon called?
Regolith.
What is the soil like layer on the Moon's surface?
Regolith.
What is the difference between regolith and soil?
Soil is a zone of plant growth and is a thin surface layer of mineral matter that normally contains organic material and is capable of supporting living plants. regolith is inorganic and lies like a blanket over the unfragmented rock. and is typically made up of material that has weathered from the underlying rock and has a crude gradation of particle sizes with the largest at the bottom
What are some cycle names like the water vapor cycle?
reproductive cycle. glucous-insulin cycle. lunar cycle. cellular cycle
Are scoria and rhyolite the same in mineral composition?
Rhyolite is a rock type that is categorized by mineral composition. Scoria is a textural rock type. Like, Rhyolite can be smooth, or it can be scoria (sharper, bumpier, lots of vesicles).Think of it as a rock adjective.

If water were available would the soil on the moon retain life?
There's really several parts to this questions: * Is the soil on the moon toxic? No. Tests from samples returned by the Apollo missions showed that plants (on Earth) survived and thrived when small amounts of lunar regolith were sprinkled or rubbed on them -- they did not wither and die as some people feared they might. * If you put a seed in pure lunar regolith (on Earth, exposed to Earth's atmosphere, sunlight, etc.) and watered it appropriately, would it grow? It seems pretty likely, but no one knows for sure. Several scientists would like to try (see links below), but there is only a limited amount of lunar regolith available on Earth, and this experiment still hasn't gotten enough priority. * If you put a seed in pure lunar regolith on the moon, exposed to Luna's (lack of) atmosphere, would it grow? No, the water would need to be liquid, and for that an atmosphere with sufficient pressure is needed. Also, plants need CO2 to grow. * If you put a seed in pure lunar regolith on the moon, and somehow put a CO2 atmosphere around the seed and let in some sunlight, would it grow? Some people suspect it would grow just fine (see links below), but no one knows for sure. Another unknown: How will plants and animals will react to 15 earth-days of sunlight and 15 earth-days of night? Lots of creatures on earth seem to survive just fine with 6 months of sunlight and 6 months of night, so this doesn't seem to be an insurmountable hurdle.
What organisms have some aspect of their biology governed by lunar cycles?
Most often, sea life are the organisms that have some aspect of their biology governed by lunar cycles. This is because lunar cycles determine the strength of things like waves, and waves and other types of water movement can change the biological composition of sea life.
What type of planet is it rocky or a gas giant what is composition what does the moon look like?
The Moon is not a planet, but its composition is made out of lunar rock. in kid terms, it is a rocky planet. The moon also is slightly oval shaped, I suggest that you look on Google.com at images for the Moon.
How is mercury's surface lunar-like?

What does the side you see of the moon look like?
The side we see is divided into 2 distinct areas. The dark areas are called Maria (latin for seas), and there is also the bright white area where most of the larger craters are located. The moon itself is covered with a thin powdery reflective material called regolith. When astronauts explored the moon, their bootprints penetrated the regolith and exposed a much darker material below. You can still see the footprints left by the astronauts when you look at photos taken by the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter.

What are the differences between Lunar Mare and Lunar Highlands?
A Lunar mare is made out of imaginary water where as a highland is like a mountain.
Where does the word lunitic come from?
